Cover art for Paper Lung lyrics by Underoath

A person watching someone else go in the wrong direction I would tie it too the ways of the world due to the fact he simply says "you never even tried to fight the current," he knows that we are placed here under our own choices "They dropped us off here with no direction" but as this other person is falling and he's doing everything he can to help them, they aren't listening so finally when they hit rock bottom he walks away. which sounds harsh but you can't have people in your life who drag you down... just my thoughts

Good thoughts! To delve further into your theory, I think both of the people in the song are him. And he is dealing with pressure and doing things he knows are wrong, but in the end he has to leave that person behind so that he can become a better person
